Patriots Rumors: New Details On Mac Jones, Bill Belichick Tension

Back in January, NBC Sports analyst Chris Simms reported Mac Jones drew Bill Belichick’s ire during the 2022 season by going behind the coach’s back to seek advice about the Patriots’ dysfunctional offense.

We now know from whom the quarterback was soliciting that counsel.

Simms said on Monday’s episode of “PFT Live” that Jones called coaches at Alabama, his alma mater, to ask for solutions as New England’s offense sputtered under the direction of Matt Patricia and Joe Judge.

“Of course Mac Jones must have been frustrated, and that’s what I heard,” Simms said.
